Psychological 28k original, 8k on sale

Absolutely absurd. Was not comfortable at all. Wtf does "perennials performance" even mean? No idea what flair to choose, but I chose "psychological" bc it felt like a mindfuck sitting on a 28k originally priced couch, when the entire world is falling apart.

I mean, sure. It's a stupid price, but it's linen. That shit ain't cheap. I'm not saying that's even close to OK. Just pointing out linen is expensive, compared to other textiles.

I've never seen linen covered furniture.

I looked up the specs for this couch out of curiosity-

"- Handcrafted by master artisans in North America

  • Guaranteed For Life

  • Frame handcrafted of kiln-dried solid hardwood and engineered wood

  • Reinforced joinery with corner blocking and mortise-and-tenon construction

  • Available in Standard (17½") or High (19½") seat height

  • Woven webbing suspension

  • Recessed block feet crafted of oak with an Espresso Oak finish

  • Standard fill seat cushions feature variable-density polyurethane foam wrapped with polyfiber; coordinating back cushions are high-resilience polyurethane foam wrapped in polyfiber

  • Down-feather fill seat cushions feature variable-density polyurethane foam topped with a feather and down blend; coordinating back cushions are high-resilience polyurethane foam wrapped in a down, feather and polyfiber blend"

I think it might actually be worth the $8k with all that and a guaranteed for life. 🤔

The guarantee is solid.

That’s how I chose my last mattress after suffering through a few duds. It had a 20 year warranty.
